Financial Assistance Programs

JUMPSTART FUNDING

Please read information below as changes have been made to the JUMPSTART program.

YOU WILL NEED TO EMAIL YOUR JUMPSTART CONFIRMATION EMAIL TO: treasurer@lmha.ab.ca ASAP ONCE CONFIRMED FOR PAYMENT TO BE CORRECTLY APPLIED TO YOUR ACCOUNT.

When families need a little financial boost to get kids involved in a sport, dance team or other active program, they need to fill out an application. This needs to be done before the fees are due, as the money goes right to the organization. Applications for assistance can typically be submitted from January 15 to November 1; with the goal for funding to be equitably distributed over Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter activities.

LaceEmUp

Our program helps financially disadvantaged children play hockey by ensuring kids have equal financial access to the game. Often times, Lace ‘Em Up funding starts where another organizations’ funding ends.

Eligibility Requirements:

• Youth aged 3 to 18
• Participating in a fully registered and recognized sport program
• Financially disadvantaged family, where such determination is based on the Federal Low Income Cut-Off guidelines.
• Applications for assistance can be submitted from June 1 - August 15, 2019.

The Lace ‘Em Up funds are provided directly to your Minor Hockey Association who will ensure your outstanding registration fees are paid, and work with you and your sporting organization to determine other areas of need, and appropriate methods of disbursement.
